Thales Tech Summit

Technology for what matters most to the UK

The UK's security, prosperity and public services run on systems that cannot fail. The country is being asked to be ready.

Across the UK, the challenges facing defence, security and national resilience are growing more complex and interconnected. The ambition is clear: strengthen societal resilience, defend the homeland, protect the strategic lines of communication that underpin security and prosperity, and project credible military power alongside NATO allies. Achieving this requires more than innovation alone. It demands technology that can be deployed at pace, proven in operation and sustained affordably over the long term.

That is the story at the heart of the Thales Tech Summit, where we bring together customers, partners and colleagues to explore how emerging technologies become trusted capabilities. In an ever more contested and volatile world, we help to create the security and stability that make sustainable progress possible. Providing the UK with cutting edge capabilities, we support national resilience and competitiveness on the world stage.

The event marks the launch of the Thales UK Technology Strategy, presented by Chief Technology Officer Mike Sewart. It sets out how we are investing in the technologies that will help strengthen the UK's defence, security and critical national infrastructure for the years ahead.

Through a series of demonstrations and real-world examples, we showcase a simple principle: every challenge requires a clear response, proven delivery and a path to future capability.
